Did you wait until the last minute to get a gift for your cigar lover? Well, it might not be too late to get something he will love, but you need to look in the right places.  Everyone gets caught up in buying the perfect gift, but there are generic gifts out there that are perfect for any cigar smoker.

As a cigar smoker, I know that there are certain things I can always use when it comes to smoking a cigar. Of course, some of them are toys. Some are fancy and some are not, but the real functionality of these cigar accessories is of the utmost importance. All cigar lovers need nice cutters, lighters, and travel cases. What’s more, if you can get us a nice cigar accessory tool with some cigars thrown in – the entire better!  I have some great suggestions for the 2009 Holiday Season that can get you out of a pinch and that I’m certain any cigar lover would want!

First, Diamond Crown is a premium cigar maker and they also make some of the nicest accessories on the market.  They’ve released a 2009 Edition of their leather traveling case with 3 cigars included.   The leather on this case is very soft and feels exquisite and the cigars are some of the most sought after cigars on the market.

Secondly, the God of Fire Lighter Set and the God of Fire Cutter Set are two very hot options for any cigar lover.  The set comes with 5 limited edition cigars and each also comes with a limited edition lighter or a limited edition cutter.  These are absolutely perfect gifts for any cigar smoker.  Trust me; we’re always looking for our elusive favorite cutter!

Finally, I would suggest that you look over some cigar samplers that might get your giftee into something new.   During the Holidays all of the major manufacturers put out limited edition gift-sets and samplers and they typically have something special to offer in each set.   Arturo Fuentes puts out a beautiful e

xtremely Rare Sampler every year.  Oliva has released two 5 cigar samplers this year and the Oliva V Sampler comes with a special shape.

Again, I would encourage you to look around at the obvious cigar gifts out there and try to find something special for your cigar lover that is hidden in plain sight.  Every cigar smoker loves a good cutter or a good lighter because we’re always losing them!   Good luck and Happy Holidays!

Cigar to smokers is just as golf clubs to golfers?Those fine, dark, leafy odors seem to permeate your every pore whenever you step into a cigar store. Although cigar is not good to health, so many people like cigar, when you smoke you are cool.(hi guys,i bought cheap golf clubs,Titleist AP2 Irons just cost $329.99,you may try.)

Do you know how long is the longest cigar in the world?

Wallace and Margarita Reyes have been rolling cigars for many, many years.  Wallace is actually a Grand Master cigar roller of which only three exist in the world.  He’s been rolling cigars since he was 12 when he was taught by his father.

In 2001 Wallace and Margarita had actually rolled a cigar that was 101 feet long and so he was already prepared for the stresses and strains of what lay ahead.  But first a brief congratulations of his aforementioned past record.

The Guinness World Record for hand-rolling the longest cigar in the world has been held by individuals or teams in only three places: Cuba, Puerto Rico and the United States.  the record Wallace and Margarita aimed to break was held by Cuban Jose Castelar Cairo who in May 2008 in Havana had rolled a cigar 148 ft 11 in long.

To roll the world’s longest cigar Wallace and Margarita had purchased around 140 lb of Ecuadorean tobacco which cost approximately $4,500.  They had pre-rolled the cigar into sections each measuring roughly 10 ft with a 64 ring gauge and this process had taken 104 hours.  The plan was on the day to roll all 18 sections together.

At the appointed hour (which for the Reyes was 4 am on Saturday November 21st 2009) they stepped into a tent which was built to act as a giant humidor and started rolling.

And on it went, minute by minute, hour after hour, the rolling of the longest cigar in the world was a total labor of love for these guys.  they actually ended up with a cigar measuring 196 feet 3 3/8 inches!!!

Congratulations to Wallace and Margarita Reyes for setting a new Guinness World Record!!!  Ybor City is back in the Guinness World Records book!
